Finally, eleven years after the album was originally released, it’s now available on vinyl.

Yet there’s a catch, it’s exclusive to Urban Outfitters U.S. which (if like me) you don’t live in the States you’re going to get hit with hefty shipping fees and potentially import tax.

This album has been on my wish list for so long that there was no way I could let this opportunity pass.

Even though it cost me around £54 (shipping + tax) that’s $68.27 for a single record.

So how does it sound?

To say it’s a single LP I was incredibly impressed and as soon as I gave the record its first spin all the grievances I had about the price were put aside.

You know how music can take you back in time, well this record took me back to 2006 just with it’s opening bars.

I’d forgotten how bass driven this album is and how important it is to the melody of most tracks.

Nostalgia aside, was it worth my £54?  No, that’s a ridiculous price for a single LP. This is definitely a £22 record.

Yet I’m happy with it and feel I needed it in my collection, it’s just a shame my location hiked the price up.

It’s worth noting for all you Dashboard fans out there (if there is any) that this release has the original mix of Stolen and not the radio mix.

It took me a while to put my finger on just why it didn’t sound right to me. 

The original UK release also featured Vindicated as a bonus track, unfortunately the song from the Spider-Man 2 soundtrack does not feature on this pressing.

2x 12" on Enid Hair Green 1/600

One of my favourite soundtracks and one of my favourite movies.

Finally released on vinyl after all these years via Shanachie. The record itself came packaged in Seymour’s yellow plastic bag and Josh’s door hanger note from the film.
